NamesList.txt 17.0_Beta for anyone interested in debugging.

17.0 is due to be released approx September 2025 so this is
released as 16.9b to avoid sorting problems with 17.0 later

libuninames-fr has also been updated to ListeDesNomes 16.0.

configure has been updated to run 'make clean' anytime when
you run ./configure to allow for fresh builds since library
builds can be made to include or exclude optional French or
(other (future?) language?) libuninameslist-* sub-libraries
resolving Gentoo libuninameslist-20200413-makefile.patch or
Debian bug #989173
